The OET part of the FCC has always been in the WISP corner.

After two decades in the wireless internet service provider (WISP) industry,
it’s become clear to me that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) hasn’t
exactly been our biggest supporter. While we often exchange polite handshakes
and warm smiles, these gestures rarely translate into the substantial changes
we need for the long-term health of our industry as we aren’t giving away
houses in return.
Sure, there are occasional offerings from the FCC, but they often fall short of
giving us something to truly celebrate. It feels like we’re all caught up in a
game—while they play by their own set of rules, we’re doing our best to
navigate the landscape. Despite the challenges, we continue to adapt and
innovate, always hopeful for a future where our needs are genuinely recognized
and addressed.
Don’t bet on any side being your bestie.

Well, Carr is the actual author of the FCC portion of Project 25, so he's
pretty much written what he would intend to do. According to the commentary
printed in Newsweek
(https://www.newsweek.com/brendan-carr-trump-fcc-pick-project-2025-chapter-1987413),
he would have 4 main priorities:
1.. Rein in big tech
2.. Promote National Security
3.. Unleash economic prosperity
4.. Ensure FCC accountability and good governence
So there is little to nothing in the bullet points that mention the little guy.
I would expect he would ignore the little guy.
The national security part is a non-specific reference to killing Tiktok.
The economic prosperity is a direct boost to Starlink (and is mentioned by name
in Project 25).
The accountability part indicates that he wants more transparency, and I think
that is a good thing.

So what will Carr do for/against the little guys?
